Top U.S. athletes hone their skills for international competition at the U.S. Olympic Committee's new $65 million ARCO Training Center in Chula Vista. This year-round, warm-weather facility has venues for the sports of track and field, canoe/kayak, cycling, field hockey, soccer, archery and rowing.
Visitors receive the red, white and blue carpet treatment at this world class Olympic facility. From the Olympic Path, visitors get an elevated view of the 150- acre campus including training fields and tracks, athlete dorms, and Otay Lake Reservoir. Free tours are offered daily starting at the Copley Visitor Center, and a wide variety of Olympic merchandise and memorabilia is featured in the Spirit Store.
Joining Olympic Training Centers in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Lake Placid, New York, the Chula Vista site has the largest permanent archery range in North America; an artificial all-weather field hockey surface; four soccer fields; a 15,000 square-foot canoe/kayak and rowing boat house; four tennis courts; a 400-meter track and six acres for field events; and a cycling criterion course. An aquatic complex and a gymnasium are among the future facilities planned.
